I think the issue here is that the feature you are proposing doesn't provide any real benefit, not many people are interested, it would take significant development time to implement, and potentially confuse new users of the software. The thing is, web2py is open source and released under the LGPL version 3 license. So, if you feel like implementing this, fork it and make it your own. As far as the "someone raises an idea" in OSS - those people proposing the new ideas generally code it first and introduce it as a cool hack, which others may merge.
